MIGRATION - Visa-free travel for Turks on hold as Turkey refuses to budge on anti-terrorisma laws

A deal on visa-free travel for Turks within Europe was looking less likely on Wednesday.
The visa-free deal is supposed to be in place by the end of June. However, Turkey has still to meet five of 72 criteria set by the EU, including how it uses its anti-terror legislation.
The EU wants Turkey to change its anti-terrorism laws so that they can't be used to stifle dissent and intimidate journalists. Ankara says they won't change the law as its needed to battle Kurdish militants.
